Question:
Hello, when installing single 3500lb or 5200lb axles on a newly fabbed trailer how do you know what size of springs to use? I see various length sets of springs available.

Expert Reply:
If you are picking out springs for a fabbed up trailer I would go with the more common leaf spring lengths as that will make picking out replacements in future a little easier. For 3,500 lb axles the most common length would be 25-1/8 inches like the # e68SR. In the 5,200 to 6k range the 25-1/4 inch length is the most common like the part # e34SR.
